I speak about this because I have a difficult driveway with slope and a hill behind where water can run underneath. I’ve paved it 3 times and learned and paid big each time. First if you have a flat driveway without a lot of rocks and boulders in your soil you’ll get it done once and forget about it. You need a good base, but especially at the edges, where it should be as deep as the middle. if It’s a slope, dig it deep, take out the rocks , put in a 12 inch base And if drainage is needed spend the money and put it in.

The last time I had mine done they pulled a monster boulder out where only the tip was visible 12 inches down. Then based and compacted and left it for 8 weeks. That’s right, 8 weeks. These paving guys want to get done ASAP to get their money. Insist on waiting, but in easy ground situations it will be fine regardless. Fragale in Torrington did the best job for me and that was 4 years ago and so far so good. Told my wife that it was the last time I’m doing that driveway even if Mount Vesuvius erupts in it.
